Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 84

EP.84 Real Instructor, Fake Instructor

The last words written on the note were as follows.

‘When the supplies arrive, use them on yourself.’

He is the only one who can answer all the questions given to him, but he has lost himself and sits in a daze. The only clue left was supplies.

Tyr headed towards the golem chained to the restaurant.

The golem was chained in the shadows as if it were a pet. When Tyrkanjaka snapped his fingers, the Shadow Chain disappeared as if it hadn’t existed in the first place.

Tyr handed the speaker to the freed golem. The golem had been torn apart so much that he inserted the now loose speaker into his mouth and spoke weakly.

“…What are you doing?”

“I have a question. About supplies.”

The golem’s body creaked with rage. The golem looked up at Tyr slowly and clenched his fists.

“Supplies will arrive soon. It’s just.”

The voice of the signalman coming out of the microphone contained a firm will.

『Supplies will be received by the head office, but they will not be supplied by Tantalus.』

Those words were a thunderbolt from the blue sky for Tyr, who was only waiting for supplies.

“Why? Wasn’t it your duty to hand us supplies?”

『If trainees inside Tantalus are uncooperative with the main building, the main building may delay supply or suspend payment under the authority of the main building. The main building is to properly use the authority given to the main building.』

“Uncooperative. When did I do that?”

『The fact that this machine was restrained and the speaker was removed is a situation that even a child who graduated from elementary school can evaluate as uncooperative.』

I had no words to refute. It was because Tyr had no intention of cooperating with the golem, either then or now.

“Such…a cowardly move.”

『Without such authority, how can I control a powerful being like you?』

Tyr stretched out his arm. Then countless black knights rose from the shadows and began to fill the dining room.

Showing the world a part of the progenitor’s dominance over countless armies, the progenitor Tirkanjaka threatened the golem.

“I am Tirkanjaka, the founder. The Queen of Shadows and the root of all vampires. An existence that received the name of Kanjaka, a monster that will devour the world. Do you dare to threaten me?”

But the golem only snorted.

『The main building is Captain Abbey, a military signal soldier. Signal Troopers do not take orders from anything other than Command. Even if it means dying.』

Words containing indomitable will. The golem spoke fiercely, as if he wasn’t afraid of death.

『If you don’t need supplies at all, destroy this machine. The magistrate will lose sight of Tantalus, but you will lose all supplies in the future.

” Speaking of golems…!”

『Even if the body of the main building is destroyed, the main building will not surrender. Because the head office is the military’s communications officer!]

The one in a hurry was Tyr. It is because if there is no supply, he cannot carry out what he asked for.

To think that Tyrkanjaka, the supreme being and the root of all vampires, could not overcome the threat of just one golem and had to retreat.

It hurt my pride, but I couldn’t help it.

Tyr was a vampire who needed nothing to live for, but he isn’t.

“I will ask you one thing. Are you sure you have supplies?”

“Positive. These supplies arrived here along with the warden a little while ago. The main building will receive these supplies after the Wardens have evaluated the surroundings. From that point on, whether or not to supply supplies is completely at the discretion of the head office! If you would like to receive supplies, please cooperate with the main office’s instructions!”

“…Yes. How do you want to cooperate?”

“first! Cessation of any hostile action against this aircraft. Respond sincerely to questions asked by the head office. Arrange an opportunity to periodically observe the situation of Tantalus! Besides that, 48 details…!]

That was then.

phut!

There was a faint sound of something exploding in the air. It was the kind of sound you would hear when dusting a wide, thick cloth like a blanket.

Or it sounded like the sound of a parachute opening.

Both the Golem and Tyr stopped talking. The two stare at each other for a moment. Tyr opened the window and looked out.

A supply crate was falling out of the window. Leaning on one large parachute.

[…Huh?]

A bewildered voice came from the Golem’s microphone. It was immediately followed by the sound of a box hitting the concrete ground. A sound that shatters undoubted hopes.

“why? Supplies at will?]

The superiority and inferiority are reversed. Tyr carefully closed the window, keeping his eyes on the parachute falling down. With a click, the latch snapped, and the dining room became an enclosed space again.

In the completely dark dining room, only Tyr’s grim voice rang through the air.

“Supplies have arrived. What are you going to do now?”

『…』

The golem, unable to speak for a moment, chose to avoid the crisis by being shameless.

“Captain Bo appreciated your cooperative attitude and provided the supplies in advance. So, I hope you will keep the contents of the agreement earlier.”

“Agreement? Have we ever done anything similar to an agreement?”

But he lacked the confidence in his voice to be completely impudent, and the supplies came down too early to call out an agreement.

Actually, it wouldn’t work anyway.

“Is that the end of the will?”

“Wait a minute. That’s some kind of mistake.”

“The mistake seems to have happened to you. Seeing that the useless mouth is still making sounds.”

[Oh no… Eup!]

A whip made of shadows wrapped around the golem’s body. Chained by whips from all sides, the golem had to watch as Tyr walked out of the restaurant.

Shay was staring at the crate from ten steps away from where it had been dropped.

There is nothing wrong with the fact that supplies have arrived. It’s because there are no people in Tantalus, but if it’s a facility of this size, supplies will arrive several times a day.

Also, since it was something he had already foretold in a note, it was a foreseeable fact that it would arrive someday.

However, Shay was raising her guard now because she felt a strange presence inside the supply box.

why the hell

Why are there people inside the box?

“Have you arrived?”

“huh. But something is… strange.”

Tyr flew in the darkness and landed next to Shay. The mind-bending Tyr went straight to check the box, but was stopped by Shay.

“Wait, Tyrkanjaka. There’s something in there.”

“…hmm? I know that. Isn’t it a box to put something inside?”

“No, not things… people.”

It was when Shay muttered that.

The lid of the box was lifted, and a hard, shrill voice came from within.

“I heard that there are laborers currently assigned as management personnel in Tantalus. It’s still working hours, so why aren’t you coming to pick up supplies?”

clap clap clap. The lock came loose from the inside of the box. The lid of the supply box was opened and a woman dressed in military uniform appeared.

There was not a single crease in the stiff uniform, the shoulder line was angled, and two glittering medals hung from the chest, clearly visible above the uniform. He seemed to claim to everyone that he was a military officer.

He was dressed like an example of an officer, completely different from a suspicious instructor somewhere. Shay would instinctively feel repulsed…

She came out with her hair on her side and looked around at everyone and said in a heavy voice.

“Ttsk military discipline has also loosened. It’s like they don’t go out to pick up supplies for them when they arrive.”

A voice that makes me sick of hearing it. A hard, authoritative, stereotyped tone hits Sei’s ears.

‘Should I cut it…’

Shay was seriously thinking about.

The officer wore a formal hat with a moderation. Then, the bobbed hair cut like a knife creates a line. The officer adjusted his angle and said with his chin held high.

“nice to meet. The main officer is Lieutenant Colonel Callis Kritz, who has been appointed as the instructor of this Tantalus as of today. As of today, I will be in charge of this place, and I will report it to you.”

“Instructor?”

“Yes, trainee.”

I wondered.

It wouldn’t be strange to have two instructors on a scale the size of Tantalus.

However, currently there are at most four trainees in this room, and even that can be reduced according to judgment. It is because it is ambiguous to treat the fragmented undead or the dog king as a human being.

By the way, two instructors are dispatched?

“Take it easy. The main building has no intention of harming the trainees. Rather, the ‘exemplary’ trainees who remain here may become collaborators of the military in the future. The main officer came here to lead you to a better path.”

Even with the attitude that the previous instructor didn’t care… If you were newly appointed, it would be normal to report to the person in charge who existed first, regardless of your position.

Rising doubt suppressed vague hostility. Around the time Shay quietly watched the situation.

Tyr was rummaging through the supply crates using shadows, not paying attention to people.

“Besides that, where are the supplies?”

Tyr found supplies. A huge shadowy hand overturned the supply box and robbed it, but not a single drop of dust, let alone supplies, fell.

Tyr, who was puzzled, immediately sent a strange gaze to Khalis.

“Are you a supply item…? Hmm. How should people use it…?”

Could it be because even the officers of the military, as hard as machines, felt the threat to their lives? Callis hurriedly rummaged in her arms uncharacteristically for an officer.

“If it’s a supply item, it probably means this.”

Callis pulled a square paper pack from her inside pocket. I pushed the top with my thumb, and the lid opened, revealing a thick cigar rolled in paper.

“Magic plant. A level 3 luxury item. It’s a luxury item that even a tsk officer can’t smoke without permission from the upper level, but it’s rationed for a single laborer… The military also treats this place as tantalus special. After all, it is a place where people live.”

While muttering dissatisfiedly, she handed the magic candle box to the hand of a shadow that had just approached. The shadow’s hand snatched the magic plant and flew straight to Tyr.

Magic herb is a psychoactive herb that relaxes the body and stabilizes the nerves. It has a weak magic recovery effect and is usually rolled in paper and used in the form of a cigarette.

Perhaps those are the supplies ‘he’ requested… Shay judged that.

I don’t know if I can find my lost memories with that, but I don’t know again. You may have hidden something.

“for a moment. than that Are you a laborer?”

It was only then that Shay felt something strange and murmured.

Are you a laborer? What do you mean? There is one instructor who can’t be trusted by anyone who needs magic candles here….

Never trusted…

No way.

“okay. laborer. Did no one know?”

Callis tutted and clicked her tongue.

The truth about him that Shay was so curious about.

“Hughes. The man is a laborer assigned to Tantalus. Tantalos was sentenced to hard labor after an emergency arrest while gambling in district 13-3 of Amittengrad.”
